These were the clans
The term "clans" in this context refers to subdivisions within the tribes of Israel, specifically the descendants of Jacob's sons. The Hebrew word used here is "מִשְׁפָּחוֹת" (mishpachot), which signifies family groups or extended families. In ancient Israel, clans were crucial for maintaining social structure, inheritance rights, and tribal identity. They provided a sense of belonging and continuity, reflecting God's promise to Abraham about his descendants being numerous and forming a great nation (Genesis 12:2).

of Arod
Arod is one of the sons of Gad, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name "Arod" in Hebrew is "אֲרוֹד" (Arod), which can mean "wild ass" or "fugitive." This name might reflect characteristics valued by the tribe, such as strength, independence, or resilience. The tribe of Gad was known for its warriors and played a significant role in the conquest of the Promised Land (Joshua 4:12-13).

the Arodite clan
The designation "Arodite" indicates the descendants of Arod. The suffix "-ite" is used in Hebrew to denote belonging or origin, similar to how we use "American" or "Canadian" today. This clan would have been recognized for its unique heritage and contributions to the tribe of Gad. The Arodites, like other clans, would have had specific roles and responsibilities within the tribal community, contributing to the overall functioning and defense of Israel.

and of Areli
Areli is another son of Gad, and his name in Hebrew is "אֲרֵלִי" (Areli), which can mean "lion of God" or "heroic." This name suggests a noble or divine strength, aligning with the tribe of Gad's reputation for bravery and might. Names in the Bible often carry significant meaning, reflecting the character or destiny of individuals and their descendants.

the Arelite clan
Similar to the Arodite clan, the Arelite clan represents the descendants of Areli. The Arelites would have been a distinct group within the tribe of Gad, contributing to the tribe's identity and legacy. The mention of these clans in the census underscores the importance of family lineage and God's faithfulness in preserving the tribes of Israel. Each clan played a vital role in fulfilling God's covenant promises, serving as a reminder of His providence and the unity of His people.
